President Luis Guillermo Solís will resume work this week, traveling to Brazil on Dec. 31 to participate in President Dilma Rousseff’s second-term inauguration ceremony, scheduled for Jan. 1st.

On Jan. 2 Solís will travel to China on an official visit, during which he will participate in the opening day of a meeting of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) members with the Asian country.
